    At one point, “meme” was only synonymous with those rage faces. This was the 9gag days. It really grinded my gears. And this was indeed caused by normies adopting the term.

      “Memes” being just rage faces and advice animals to the wider internet was probably the most infuriating time period for me.

      It was like the whole world collectively and simultaneously chose the most embarassing ways to anthropomophize their emotions.
